68 Commando 8 (gift)

Saved this from the scrap pile. I knew my buddy had it laying out back, and i thought i might be able to use a few parts. He said, "Take it . . . I was just going to scrap it!" I'll be rebuilding it over the next several months. Gonna need an engine. k181s 30208d

good start, keep us posted on your progress :D

[stoneman 10]

now that i have that figured out . . . here's a stupid little problem. i have most of this thing dismantled, however i'm having trouble getting the roll pin out to remove the steering wheel. if it didn't need a bushing replaced on the top of the shaft, i'd probably just paint it without removing it . . . but i want to do it right. i thought it'd be safe to drill it, but i'd rather ask someone who's sure of what to do. thanks

Not a stupid little problem at all - it's one that most of us have encountered. Taking out old roll pins is one of the true challenges of this hobby.

There are two pretty decent threads where this is talked about:

and

By the way, who's your helper in the upper right corner of your first picture?
